nize his rights.

To Our Readers.

We cnnnot too strongly urge
upon our readers the necessity for
subscribing for a family weekly
newspaper of the first class such,
for instance as THE INDEPENDENT,
of New York. Were we obliged
to select one publication for
habitual and careful reading to the
exclusion of all others, we should
choose unhesitatingly THE INDIE
PENDENT. 1t is a newspaper,
magazine, and review, all in one.
1t is religious, a literary, an edu-
cational, astory, an art, a scientific,
an agricultural, financial, and a
political paper combined. 1t has
- folio pages and q departments.
No matter what per sons religion,
politics or profession may be, no
matter what the age, sex, employ
ment or condition may be, THE
INDEPENDENT will prove a help,
an instructor, an educator. Our
readers can do no less than to send
a postal for free specimen copy,
or for thirty cents the paper will
be sent a month, enabling one to
Judge OF its merits more critically.
Its yearly subscription is $500, or
two years for $500.
Those who desire to subscribe
for The AMERICAN AGRICURIsT as
well as The INDEPENDENT cannot
make better bargain tEan by
accepting The INDEPENDENTS of
fer to send both papers for one
year for the sum OF 1915. Each
subscriber will thus save seventy
five cents on the two papers.
